Hastings, Minnesota has a rich history of brewing that dates as far back as the late 1800s. In 1919, Prohibition decimated the brewery scene across the country, and a town once home to at least four thriving local breweries hasn’t seen one since. Until now.

Sampled from the tap at ABR 2024. Pours a cloudy deep amber brown with a brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma is bread forward with sweet grains and a bit of stone fruit underlying. Flavor has sweet bread and sweet grains with some toffee and leaves backing.

Aromas are citrus rind, weed and a hint of resin in that order. Flavors are similar to nose, leaning sweet up front with decent carbonation and a little bitter at the back. Okay body with a slight medicinal finish.

Aromas are toast, toffee and dry grass. Great fluffy frothy long-lasting off white head but and unappealing dirty dishwater red color. So a wash for appearances. Flavors are a bit off, slight tartness, wondering if it's getting old. Otherwise bittersweet with a cereal finish.

Aromas are dark malt, roast and a bit of cocoa. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, leaning sweet with a little fruit. Okay body and carbonation. Pretty much a run of the mill stout. Not bad but not great.
